Taking a Time Out: There is a non-profit foundation dedicated to helping military couples “get to know each other again,” according to Tom Wagner, executive director for the Military, Veteran, and Family Assistance Foundation, based in Dallas. The organization hosts a retreat for couples at the Heart of the Hills Camp, in the Texas Hill Country, northwest of San Antonio. The foundation, says Wagner, offers military members help in transitioning from the war on terror back into their everyday lives.
The U.S. military is maintaining a beefed-up presence in the Middle East, including fighters and air defense assets, following the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities June 22 and subsequent retaliation by the Iranians against Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
